Do organic soyfoods contain ingredients made from hexane solvent extraction?
No. Certified organic soyfoods and organic soy ingredients that carry the USDA Organic seal should not contain ingredients made from hexane solvent extraction. Consumers are encouraged to check food labels. If the product is “certified organic” then hexane solvent extraction was not used to make any of the ingredients in the product. If the product is not “certified organic” but is made up of at least 70 percent organic ingredients, all of these ingredients must be “organic compliant”—meaning that they are scrutinized by the National Organic Standards Board. If you are uncertain about any of the ingredients contained in your soyfood, please contact the manufacturer directly.
